The United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), and the State of Michigan (the ‘‘State’’), on behalf Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (‘‘EGLE’’), filed suit against NCR Corporation (‘‘NCR’’) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (‘‘CERCLA’’) for the recovery of response costs and the performance of response work at the Allied Paper, Inc./ Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site in Michigan (the ‘‘Site’’). Under the terms of the Consent Decree, NCR will perform an estimated $135.7 million in cleanup work on the Kalamazoo River and the adjacent banks 2 All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements. 3 Electronic Document Information System (EDIS): https://edis.usitc.gov.

Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. Other: None. The Department of Justice Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) is an agency recruitment and retention incentive program based on 5 U.S.C. 5379, as amended, and 5 CFR part 537. Individuals currently employed as a DOJ attorney and incoming hires for attorney positions within the Department may request consideration for the ASLRP. The Department selects new participants during an annual open season each spring and renews current beneficiaries (DOJ employees) who remain qualified for these benefits, subject to availability of funds. There are two application forms—one for new requests, and the other for renewal requests. A justification form (applicable to new requests only) and a loan continuation form complete the collection. The ‘‘new request’’ form is submitted voluntarily, by current DOJ employees as well as by incoming DOJ attorney hires who, if selected, do not VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Dec 16, 2019 Jkt 250001 receive benefits until they are a DOJ employee. Renewal requests are submitted by only by current DOJ employees—no non-employees would qualify. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The Department anticipates about 275 respondents annually will complete the new request form and justification form and apply for participation in the ASLRP. Of those, an average of 10 or less are incoming attorney hires who have not yet entered on duty with the DOJ. In addition, each year the Department expects to receive approximately 110 applications from current employees (DOJ attorneys) requesting renewal of the benefits they received in the preceding year. It is estimated that each new request (including justification) will take two (2) hours to complete, and each renewal request approximately 20 minutes to complete. 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: a. The estimated burden associated with this collection is 586 hours, 40 minutes. It is estimated that new applicants will take 2 hours to complete the request form and justification and that previously selected recipients requesting continued funding will take 20 minutes to complete a renewal form. The burden hours for collecting respondent data, 586 hours, 40 minutes, are calculated as follows: 275 new respondents × 2 hours = 550 hours, plus 110 renewing respondents × 20 minutes = 36 hours, 40 minutes. b. An estimate of the public burden focusing only incoming hires and excluding current DOJ employees is 20 hours, calculated as follows: 10 new respondents (incoming hires) × 2 hours = 20 hours.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This document provides notice of the declination of coverage over the working conditions of aircraft cabin crewmembers onboard aircraft in operation by all twenty-two (22) OSHAapproved State Plans which cover the private sector. On March 26, 2014, OSHA began applying three safety and health standards to the working conditions of aircraft cabin crewmembers on aircraft in operation. Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 667 (OSH Act) grants the OSHA-approved State Plans the authority to regulate the working conditions of these employees to the extent consistent with the Federal Aviation Act. Subsequently, OSHA required the State Plans to either elect to amend their State Plans to cover aircraft cabin crewmembers on aircraft in operation, or to decline to exercise such authority, in which case coverage would remain a Federal OSHA responsibility. All affected State Plans declined. OSHA is hereby amending the State Plans’ coverage in all of the twenty-two (22) OSHA-approved State Plans covering the private sector to reflect the declination of State Plan coverage, and the continuation of Federal OSHA enforcement authority over the working conditions of aircraft cabin crewmembers while they are onboard aircraft in operation, and notifying affected employers and employees of this action.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of information collection: Renewal of a Currently Approved 
Collection.
    2. The title of the form/collection: Electronic Applications for 
the Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form 
number for this collection. The applicable component within the 
Department of Justice is the Office of Attorney Recruitment and 
Management, Justice Management Division, U.S. Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. Other: 
None. The Department of Justice Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program 
(ASLRP) is an agency recruitment and retention incentive program based 
on 5 U.S.C. 5379, as amended, and 5 CFR part 537. Individuals currently 
employed as a DOJ attorney and incoming hires for attorney positions 
within the Department may request consideration for the ASLRP. The 
Department selects new participants during an annual open season each 
spring and renews current beneficiaries (DOJ employees) who remain 
qualified for these benefits, subject to availability of funds. There 
are two application forms--one for new requests, and the other for 
renewal requests. A justification form (applicable to new requests 
only) and a loan continuation form complete the collection. The ``new 
request'' form is submitted voluntarily, by current DOJ employees as 
well as by incoming DOJ attorney hires who, if selected, do not receive 
benefits until they are a DOJ employee. Renewal requests are submitted 
by only by current DOJ employees--no non-employees would qualify.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The 
Department anticipates about 275 respondents annually will complete the 
new request form and justification form and apply for participation in 
the ASLRP. Of those, an average of 10 or less are incoming attorney 
hires who have not yet entered on duty with the DOJ. In addition, each 
year the Department expects to receive approximately 110 applications 
from current employees (DOJ attorneys) requesting renewal of the 
benefits they received in the preceding year. It is estimated that each 
new request (including justification) will take two (2) hours to 
complete, and each renewal request approximately 20 minutes to 
complete.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection:
    a. The estimated burden associated with this collection is 586 
hours, 40 minutes. It is estimated that new applicants will take 2 
hours to complete the request form and justification and that 
previously selected recipients requesting continued funding will take 
20 minutes to complete a renewal form. The burden hours for collecting 
respondent data, 586 hours, 40 minutes, are calculated as follows: 275 
new respondents x 2 hours = 550 hours, plus 110 renewing respondents x 
20 minutes = 36 hours, 40 minutes.
    b. An estimate of the public burden focusing only incoming hires 
and excluding current DOJ employees is 20 hours, calculated as follows: 
10 new respondents (incoming hires) x 2 hours = 20 hours.
